I never got so much as a second glance in my direction and I state I’m an atheist and all of a sudden I’m a mother fucking freak show? Fuck this man.

This is some scary sh*t. Anti-gay rights organizations are mobilizing to take advantage of a mass cash infusion from unknown sources, and ensure that they continue their pro-life, pro-discrimination agendas nationwide.
The campaign, officially titled “Ignite An Enduring Cultural Transformation,” seeks to build off of the perceived momentum from the contentious November 2010 Elections, and “turn a...

At a time when many policymakers are looking at criminal and juvenile justice reforms that would safely shrink the size of our prison population, the existence of private prison companies creates a countervailing interest in preserving the current approach to criminal justice and increasing the use of incarceration.

Last week the Republican Party sounded two distinct voices. First we heard the angry demands of the Tea Party, speaking through its hardline conservative allies in the House, pushing the government to the brink of a shutdown. But then emerged the soothing tones of Paul Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, who fashions himself the intellectual leader of the party, unveiling a budget manifesto...

Glenn Beck is ranting about liberals again. This time he says he was the victim of mob mentality at Bryant Park movie night — which is always a mob scene, but Beck must not get out much. And for good reason as he sees it. This mob poured wine all over his wife’s back according Beck’s account…
To @saromo, don’t fuss over spilled wine. And @glennbeck, tell your wife to...

So, yeah, this starts out OK - Red and Blue are sort of garden-variety anti-gay. Black is the voice of reason. Then Brown steps in and kicks it up a notch. First, he says gayness is “cruel” to people like him, who have the “human right” to live in a place…

The combination of lost jobs and millions of foreclosures means a lot of folks are homeless and hungry for the first time in their lives. One of the consequences of the recession that you don’t hear much about is the record number of children descending into poverty. The government considers a family of four to be impoverished if they take in less than $22,000 a year. Based on that standard,...
